Hello all, im a new user here. Let me give a breif background of myself:

for the past month I have noticed small bumps at the base of my shaft. I was not worried until I first noticed a couple more appear in the same area.

I immediately scheduled a checkup. Sadly, it appears I have contracted the hpv virus. I am ok with knowing that I am "stuck" with this virus for life, but would like to start exploring different methods of treatment.


The school I attend is offering liquid nitrogen removal for the cost of $25/semester. This includes as many treatments as necessary.

My main concern is that this will be painful and leave scars, therefore I am looking for other methods of treatment.

So far I have been recommended the cream aldara, which seems promising. But this cream is very expensive and far exceeds my budget. I have also seen ads on webmd for creams such as:

dermisil
pure tea tree oil
heal warts

my question for the forum's members:
--have you had any luck with any specific type of treatment?
--which type of treatment would you recommend?

--from your experience, how long have warts stayed away after use of treatment? Which treatment did you use?

Thank you all for viewing my post. Hopefully this post will not just help me, but others with this dilemma as well!

Take care,
